Sun Microsystems to Host Panel on Internet Privacy and the ''Network of You'' on December 12th

December 10, 2007; 06:41 AM

MENLO PARK, Calif.--Sun Microsystems (Nasdaq:Java) will be hosting a panel discussion on
Internet privacy in an era that Sun refers to as the “Network
of You.” As more and more personal information
moves onto the Internet, ranging from tax returns to health records to
family photos, the importance of good privacy practices and controls
over personally identifiable information has never been greater. Sun and
privacy experts are urging action now at all levels of information
technology, corporate governance and government policy.

What: Chief privacy officers (CPOs) and privacy experts
representing diverse public and private sector viewpoints will debate
the top threats and challenges to online privacy now and in the future;
what is being done at individual companies and industry wide; what needs
to be done and whether or not we will act in time to prevent potentially
catastrophic data losses. The panel will also cover workplace privacy
issues and free speech; privacy in the context of corporate governance;
efforts at global harmonization of online identity standards; state,
federal and international legislation in process; and the notion of
personal data as the new currency.
